The Bosnian-Herzegovinian trainer made the remarks after Hearts secured a narrow 1-0 victory over newly promoted Port City in their Ghana Premier League Matchday Six fixture at the University of Ghana Stadium on Sunday, 11 October.

Despite the win, Kapor  acknowledged that his team still had room for improvement but stressed that the condition of playing surfaces was a wider concern for the domestic game.

“This is not our stadium; it’s a national stadium. This is not just our home ground; it’s for all Ghanaians. It’s true that it’s not our stadium,” Kapor told the media.

“We have to improve our team, and Ghana football already has a serious problem with pitches. I have a lot of obligations, and this is not part of them,” he added.

Hearts’ victory lifted them to second place in the league standings, three points behind leaders Medeama, as they continued their push for a strong start to the campaign.

Port City, meanwhile, suffered their second defeat of the season and dropped to fourth place after an encouraging start to their debut campaign in the top flight.

Hearts will travel to Tema to face Vision FC in their next league fixture, while Port City prepare to host Dreams FC as the Matchday Seven games take place this weekend.

Cabinet approves long-pending diplomatic agreement between Ghana and Holy See Ghana has taken a major step towards resolving a decades-long diplomatic matter with the Holy See following Cabinet’s approval of a Host Country Agreement governing relations between the two parties. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, announced the development after meeting the Apostolic Nuncio to Ghana, Archbishop Julien Kaboré, on Friday, October 9, 2026. Mr Ablakwa said the approval followed sustained collaboration between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Apostolic Nunciature to address an agreement that had remained pending since Ghana established formal diplomatic relations with the Holy See. The first Apostolic Nuncio arrived in Ghana in 1976, but the Host Country Agreement had yet to be finalised. The agreement, which is consistent with the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, sets out the framework governing relations between Ghana and the Holy See. It also provides for specific rights, privileges and immunities for holders of ecclesiastical office and members of the Catholic faithful in Ghana. Mr Ablakwa expressed satisfaction with the progress, commending officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for working to meet the target set for the agreement. In a post on X, he also acknowledged the commitment of President John Dramani Mahama and the Attorney-General to resolving the matter. Cabinet’s approval clears the way for the agreement to be submitted to Parliament for ratification in accordance with Article 75 of the 1992 Constitution. The Foreign Affairs Minister also recognised the Catholic Church’s longstanding contribution to Ghana’s development, particularly in education and healthcare. He said the country remained grateful for the Church’s role in shaping its moral values and establishing institutions that have contributed to national development across multiple sectors. The agreement is expected to formalise important aspects of the relationship between Ghana and the Holy See, subject to parliamentary ratification.
